As the sun sinks slowly out of sight,
the tired but good.natured picknickers
return, bearing innumerable treasures
to be kept in memory Of the event.
Some people might not prize them, but
to these city urchins they are as gold
Branches, weeds, wilted flowers, bits of
moss and bark, feathers and sand, and
pebbles from the shore, frogs and toads
in pockets, and miserable little minnows'
in cans, and all sorts of rubbish, at once
worthless and yet beyond price, which
serve to carry gladness to hundreds of
homes.
The sewing class, including among its
teachers many of the wealthiest ladies in
the city, is a most noble and useful work.
1t meets every Saturday morning from
ten to twelve o'clock, and has an attend.
ance of over eight hundred girls and
some boys. All work with will, and
the articles, when completed, become the
property of the little seamstresses,. at
once encouraging skill and helping many
hundreds of girls to good warm garments.
The kindergarten connected with the
mission meets every morning, and is.
attended by FIVE hundred little tots, some
of whom can scarcely speak, but who
nevertheless, when taken from tue street
and placed under its influence, develop
rapidly. The work Of these baby fingers

to be allowed to rub Tremont's nose with

With my lady friends and some nice
gentlemen went to Cedarhurst, on
Long Island, to see the great hurdle
races. 1t was sight long to be remem.
bered, even by patriarch, for who ever
gets too old to enjoy the beauty and
majesty of fine horses, and the grace and
power and poetry of their motion,
especially in leaping race? Solomon,
and David, and Job all pay tribute to it,
and why not We? They admired him
when he "swelleth his nostrils and
snufeth the battle from afar." Then
why not look at him in peace. Cedar.
hurst is a hightoned association of tony
men, who have no jockeying and many
of whom ride their own horses in these
hurdle races. Splendid riders they are,
too, but I am vain enough to believe
that if I could have called back forty
years would have taken hand in that
contest, and not been left far behind.
Sometimes do want to be young again
that is a fact. Most every OIL. man
does, reckon. At least they love to
tell, about their youthful triumphs.

ambition was to ride the pony express

GULLIBIL.ITY.

The wild phantoms and Shrieking cries
of a worthless humbug can make money by
imposing upon the credulity and ignorance
of an honest public. and the supply of this
species OF work seems more than an ade-
quate demand The enunciation OF facts
facts thar have stood crucial tests-facts
proven by brain force and tangible evi-
dence, should satisfy all laudable enter
prises; but the eNecrabIe practice of teach
ing false ideas and doctrines for self-aggran-
dizement is truly reprehensihle and should
be scorned by all classes.
When one house tells you that Iodide of
Potash is poison simply because their OPP
pOlents use it. and because they are pan
dering to your ignorance, as they suppose,
you should look upon all such as arrant
frauds and their remedies as unworthy
public confidence, and if those who make
such assertions do not know better. they
are set of unenyiable ignoramuses.
